PONTIAC Complaints

WHEN HAVING MY OIL CHANGED AT A GARAGE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE LIFT BOTH FRAME RAILS HAD SEVERE RUST DAMAGE. SINCE THIS IS WHAT GIVES THE UNIBODY FRAME IT'S STRENGTH, WHY DIDN'T GM ZINC COAT THEM OR APPLY RUST PROOFING? I LIVE IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN WHERE THEY USE SALT ON THE ROADS IN WINTER. SEEING GM IS ALSO IN MICHIGAN YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE AWARE OF THIS AND ACT ACCORDINGLY? THE ONLY REASON I CAN THINK OF IS TO SAVE MONEY, INCREASE PROFITS, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE VEHICLE BEING SAFE FOR THE CONSUMER. I DON'T SEE DESIGNING THE FRAME RAILS TO LAST FOR 20-25 YEARS FOR SAFETY REASONS AS BEING UNREASONABLE.

WHEN I TURN OFF MY CAR MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WILL NOT STAY OFF AND IT KILLS MY BATTERY. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR HELP WITH THIS AND IT SEEMS MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY PONTIAC GRAND PRIX WITH THIS PROBLEM YET I SEE NO RECALLS FOR THIS. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND BLINKING. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY, WAITED FOR A WHILE, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENSEN MOTORS INC (2525 S BROADWAY ST, NEW ULM, MN 56073) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REJECTED TO BE SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 117,000.

THIS 2006 G6 BELONGS TO MY WIFE AND ACCORDING TO GM THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD RECALL 14772 AS WELL AS 14116 AND THIS VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS FROM INTERSTATES TO COUNTRY ROADS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST SHE IS DRIVING, IF SHE IS TURNING, OR WHAT THE WEATHER IS. SHE HAS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION, REINSTALL KEY AND FINALLY RESTART VEHICLE AND HOPEFULLY THE STEERING WILL WORK AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY UNSAFE AND I CAN NOT LET HER CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS WE HAVE A YOUNG DAUGHTER THAT FREQUENTLY RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE, SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THE RECALLS DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM?

LEAKY FUEL LINES TOWARD THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL. LARGE PUDDLES OF GASOLINE UNDER THE CAR WHEN PARKED. VISIBLE GAS LEAK

I HAVE A SECONDARY AIR ISSUE THAT WE CAN'T SEEM TO GET FIXED, EVEN WITH ALL THE PARTS WE HAVE REPLACED. ALSO AT NIGHT EVERY TIME I USE MY BLINKER THE HIGH BEAMS COME ON AND WON'T TURN OFF. THE ISSUE IS WHEN IM DRIVING AT NIGHT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN MY BLINKER CLICKS BACK INTO PLACE.

BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE REPLACED BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR AND NOW THE TRUNK BRAKE LIGHT IS THE ONLY ONE WORKING REGULAR LIGHTS ALL WORK BUT THE LIGHT ON THE TRUNK IS THE ONLY BRAKE LIGHT THAT WORKS WHEN PRESSING THE FOOT PEDAL.

THE SMALL PLASTIC PROTRUSIONS USED TO ATTACH FUEL LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP FAILED, 2 OUT OF 3 BROKE, RESULTING IN FUEL SPRAYING ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK.

A FRONT INTERIOR WELD ON THE CROSS MEMBER FAILED, RESULTING IN A SEVERE SLOPE TO THE RIGHT AS WELL AS A NOTICEABLE CLUNK WHEN TURNING.
